Flori Roberts Skin Perfecting System With Emblica

One of Emblica’s most exciting applications is as a skin lightener. While most skin lighteners such as Hydroquinone, Arbutin, and Kojic Acid have toxicity issues or can cause negative reactions on the skin, Emblica is well tolerated with no side effects. Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (emblica) has been the best-tolerated skin lightener.

Skin lightening agents are used to either lighten or depigment the skin. Excessive pigmentation of the skin can be caused by UV-radiation, hormonal imbalance, inflammation, drugs or aging. A number of studies have demonstrated Emblica’s ability to lighten and even-tone normal, hyper-pigmented and UV-induced pigmented skin color. In two studies Emblica showed comparable/better results to an equal concentration of Hydroquinone for skin lightening over a nine-week period. Another study showed Emblica to provide significant lightening of freckle spots after 8 weeks.

Studies have shown Emblica to possess powerful, broad-spectrum antioxidant properties. Research has shown Emblica to increase skin hydration and skin lipids, to reduce collagenase activity, to reduce UV-induced erythema, to reduce inflammation and to help preserve skin tone and integrity.
